It's Time To Make The Donuts

Really?

Make Donuts?

OK, I'm not really making donuts,

but it is time to get down to brass tacks

and get ready to paint

30 Paintings in 30 Days!

 (cue the reverberation sound effects)

My sweet husband cut 36, 10" x 10" square panels

out of Masonite, (36 in case I screw up)

and each one has to have 3 coats of gesso.

 

  This is just a "gittr done ASAP sort of process".

Then I'll go over 10 in burnt sienna, 10 in gray, 

and 10 in a mottled background. 

Depending on what I'm painting each day,

I'll choose a background for that temperature,

you know warm or cool.

I've been brainstorming, 
(big oxymoron there),

on what my theme/themes will be.

I've always wanted to paint figures,

but was afraid.

So, I'm throwing off the shackles of fear 

and going to do it in front of the world and all.

Those should be interesting.

I have my subjects, but I don't have the actual photo reference, yet.

There will be at least 10 of those.

I want to do some plein air painting of local scenes  

and that appears to be about 5-10 paintings.

You know I'm going to try to paint my son Kirk's hawk, Tony.

 And by the time I throw in some clouds and flowers

that should just about take me up to 30 paintings.

I'll be doing time lapse video of each one so that should be fun to watch.
